Jedi Knight Cal Kestis has a hard enough task going up against the Empire in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, especially when he just has some allies along for the ride. However, through smart, strategic moves and the power of the Force, there is every chance that Cal and the crew can stand victorious when the dust settles.
In fact, this kind of tactical and methodical approach applies not just to the actual combat scenarios in the game but also to simulations. Indeed, the mini-game known as Holotactics is well worth checking out not just for the fun of it but also functions as a great way to learn about the tendencies of enemies that may yet be flummoxing players. This guide on how to get the Gambler trophy and achievement in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be very helpful for those hoping to enjoy the mini-game and win it all.
How To Get The Gambler Trophy & Achievement
The main objective of this particular trophy and achievement is to win at all the matches of Holotactics, and ties in nicely with another feat in which players can fill out Pyloon's Saloon on the planet of Koboh with all the possible additions. Here are all the necessary steps that need to be taken:
- Find and rescue Bhima and Tulli, who will open up the mini-game back on the second floor of Pyloon's Saloon. They are found near the Boiling Bluff Meditation Point on Koboh, scared of the danger posed by the Mogul. Kill the creature and speak to the pair; this will recruit them.
- As this is a game that gets easier from having more knowledge of enemies, it is recommended to come back after completing the game, so the tactical guide is mostly filled up with known enemy types.
- The full list of opponents consists of Turgle, Greez, Tulakt, Merrin, Caij, Skoova, T-1N8, and Tulli. Only T-1N8 will likely be missed, so head to the Foothill Falls in order to find her underneath a trapdoor near an abandoned shack.
- Head back to the saloon to find Bhima and Tulli upstairs, ready to teach Cal how to play Holotactics.
- This is a game where teams of combatants will go up against each other unless one team is left standing, with points being spent on using certain characters. Unspent points per round are carried over to the next.
- It is not always advisable to go for the most expensive choice, but there is a great way to cheese the game. Use the Droideka (12 points) and place it on the back row, and protect it with strong melee characters. If it's possible to get two, they will absolutely murder anything in range.
- The element of luck in Holotactics also means that usually, mirroring your opponents and adding one or two more options will help nab the win. Otherwise, the cheese method will always help.
Once players have defeated all eight opponents and gotten various rewards, including more collectibles like Jedha Scrolls, the Gambler trophy and achievement will be next.
